commit 38f8eefccf3a23c4058a570fa2938a4f553cf8e0 upstream.

kdb &lt;-&gt; kgdb transitioning does not work properly with this UART
driver because the get character routine loops indefinitely as opposed
to returning NO_POLL_CHAR per the expectation of the KDB I/O driver
API.

The symptom is a kernel hang when trying to switch debug modes.

<title>serial: sh-sci: Make probe fail for ports that exceed the maximum count</title>

The driver supports a maximum number of ports configurable at compile
time. Make sure the probe() method fails when registering a port that
exceeds the maximum instead of returning success without registering the
port.

This fixes a crash at system suspend time, when the driver tried to
suspend a non-registered port using the UART core.

<id>78d80c5a720ea370defa3e3124c0f7f7179bdfe5</id>
<content type='text'>
We had a boot regression in Ux500 in the merge window because
two orthogonal pin control schemes for the PL011 were merged
at the same time:

- One using the .init() and .exit() hooks into the platform
  for Ux500 putting the pins into default vs sleep state
  respectively as the port was started/stopped.
  commit a09806607fd20bed2f8c41fe22793386790a14aa
  "ARM: ux500: switch to using pinctrl for uart0"

- One hogging the default setting at PL011 probe()
  commit 258e055111d3cde2607e0d04eb91da2f7a59b591
  "serial: amba-pl011: adopt pinctrl support"

To get a solution that works for both let's scrap the stuff
in the platform callbacks, instead have the driver itself
select default and sleep states when the port is
started/stopped. Hopefully this works for all clients.
Platform callbacks are bad for device tree migration anyway,
so this rids us of another problem in Ux500.

<title>tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more work</title>

<content type='text'>
This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's
not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery.

The main revert is d29f3ef39be4 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but
there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get
reverted here. The list of reverted commits is:

  fde86d310886 - tty: add lockdep annotations
  8f6576ad476b - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace
  d3ca8b64b97e - pty: Fix lock inversion
  b1d679afd766 - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
  abcefe5fc357 - tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock()
  fd11b42e3598 - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call
  d29f3ef39be4 - tty_lock: Localise the lock

The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver
that got removed in the meantime.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "The whole series has been sitting in -next for quite a while with no
  complaints.  The last change to the series was before the weekend the
  removal of an SPI patch which Grant - even though previously acked by
  himself - appeared to raise objections.  So I removed it until the
  situation is clarified.  Other than that all the patches have the acks
  from their respective maintainers, all MIPS and x86 defconfigs are
  building fine and I'm not aware of any problems introduced by this
  series.

  Among the key features for this patch series is a sizable patchset for
  Lantiq which among other things introduces support for Lantiq's
  flagship product, the FALCON SOC.  It also means that the opensource
  developers behind this patchset have overtaken Lantiq's competing
  inhouse development team that was working behind closed doors.

  Less noteworthy the ath79 patchset which adds support for a few more
  chip variants, cleanups and fixes.  Finally the usual dose of tweaking
  of generic code."

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/mips/lantiq/xway/gpio_{ebu,stp}.c where
printk spelling fixes clashed with file move and eventual removal of the
printk.
